Is there a charge to use ShipEngine?

ShipEngine is included in all GoDaddy Commerce plans at no additional cost. However, each shipping label will need to be purchased separately.

Why am I asked to pay up front with my credit card?

ShipEngine handles the actual purchasing of the shipping labels from the Order Detail page. ShipEngine draws from an account balance when purchasing shipping labels.

What is the minimum starting account balance?

You’ll need to fund your account with a minimum starting balance of $10.

What is auto-funding?

When your account balance runs low, you can avoid disruptions to your shipping process by automatically adding funds at a threshold and amount of your choosing (minimum $25).
